Perimenopause can feel like a rollercoaster—one minute, you’re fine, and the next, you’re battling hot flashes, fatigue, and hair loss. But what if you were doing all the "right" things and still weren't seeing results? There are resources out there and you don’t have to navigate it alone!

In this episode of Small Daily Habits, I sit down with Sara Dimmick, a fellow personal trainer and co-owner of Physical Equilibrium in NYC, to talk about her personal journey through perimenopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Sara gets real about the unexpected symptoms that hit her, the frustration of feeling “off” despite doing everything right, and how she found relief through HRT, strength training, and other lifestyle habits.

We dive into:

✔️ The signs of perimenopause

✔️ Sara’s decision-making process around HRT and how it changed her life

✔️ The role of exercise, nutrition, and mindset in thriving through this transition

✔️ The importance of advocating for your health and finding the right support

If you’ve ever felt unheard or confused about your own perimenopause journey, this candid conversation is a must-listen. 

Tune in and learn how to take back your control, your energy, and your confidence.
